ComGen: The Community College Genomics Research Initiative

生物科学（61）. ComGen：社区学院基因组学研究计划为社区学院理科学生带来了基因组学方面的实际研究经验。 其目标是将基因组学引入现有课程，以满足提高学生对STEM学科的兴趣和成就的需要。该项目主要是为社区大学的学生设计的。在将基因组学纳入课程的高中、社区学院和大学项目的几个成功模式的基础上，ComGen 1）创建新的课程，将基因组学研究活动带到社区学院各级生物学教学的课堂; 2）发展教师在课堂上使用真实的研究作为教学工具的专业知识; 3）实施试点社区学院项目;评估其在全国社区学院推广的潜力。一个强大的ComGen合作伙伴关系正在帮助连接和加强STEM教育社区通过一个团队的方法，涉及中学，社区学院和大学教师谁是与科学家和研究人员合作。

Biological Sciences (61). The ComGen: Community College Genomics Research Initiative is bringing hands-on, real-world research experiences in genomics to community college science students. The goal is to introduce genomics into existing curricula as a way of addressing the need to increase student interest and achievement in STEM disciplines. The project is designed primarily for the community college student. Building on several successful models of high school, community college and university programs that incorporate genomics into curricula, ComGen is 1) creating new curricula that brings genomics research activities to classrooms at all levels of biology instruction at the community college level; 2) developing faculty expertise in using real research as a teaching tool in the classroom; 3) implementing the pilot community college program; and 4) evaluating its potential for replication at community colleges nationwide. A strong ComGen partnership is helping connect and strengthen the STEM education community through a team approach involving secondary, community college, and university faculty who are collaborating with scientists and researchers.
